After being in jars for a few days, it was time for the first smoke....
The most important thing for me w/ something new is the smell, with potency a close 2nd and a distant 3rd for taste. I always smoke joints when testing for the first time...the smell and smoke lingers longer than w/ a bong/pipe.
While in jars, the bud didn't have any kind of complexity to the smell.....it was just straight lemon/pine sol. The lemon was at it's peak around day 45, then toned down some....with both phenos. The light vick vapor rub smell is completely gone from the dried bud too.
After using the grinder, the lemon smell exploded and fumed up the whole room! The taste didn't have an overwhelming lemon to it...kind of perfume/floral maybe. Really smooth smoke too....not to my surprise either, cause all I'm pouring on my plants is water.
I've been smoking only my Garlic Bud the past few weeks, so I was excited to smoke something new. The high had a nice 'head' high after onset. Didn't make me tired or give me munchies but did make me feel very relaxed and caught myself zoning out while I was reading. The high only lasted about 10-15 minutes or so and I've had the same results the next days. I work nights, so when I get home from work in the morning, I'm as sober as a judge and ready to smoke......so my palate is clean and I get the full affect.
Would I consider either pheno a keeper for ME? I would have to say no.
I love the lemon but the potency is lacking imo. Not all 10 seeds germed and I got 3 females. It's a numbers game. When I do a hunt, I always pop 20 at a time(regular seeds).
Maybe one day I'll get a digital dslr. $$
